A WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury,
assemble all parts to your saw before connecting
it to power supply. Saw should never be
connected to power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing
or removing blades, or when not In use.
As mentioned previously your saw has been factory
assembled and adjusted. The miter lock handle, dust
guide, and blade are the only parts that have to be
installed.

stud on the end of the miter lock handle into the
threaded hole in the control arm. Turn clockwise to
tighten.

INSERT over the exhaust port in the upper blade
guard. Turn the guide so that the open end is facing
down or toward the rear of the saw.

WARNING: A12 in. blade is the maximum
blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade
that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to
engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger
blades will come in contact with the blade
guards, while thicker blades will prevent the
blade screw from securing the blade on the
spindle. Either of these situations could result in
a serious accident and can cause serious
personal Injury.

result In accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
